> Are increased norepinephrine levels bad for OCD?
> Read that Doc Amen thought Remeron was a good drug for ocd with add.....I know Remeron has worked for some ocd'ers but IF Rem increases NE (and it does, part. at higher levels, though at which dose I'd LOVE to know, anybody?) and IF (I say IF) NE is bad for ocd'ers, I don't know how Rem could work for ocd?Well think about it McPac, Anafranil is quite noradrenergic as well as serotonergic, Nardil increases NE.. yet these meds have been shown to help OCD. I don't think you can say positively that one neurotransmitter or another is inherently bad for OCD. It's quite feasible that some OCDers would have a bad reaction to increased NE, but this can't be said for everyone.
